An ideal place to relax
Playa del Mal Nombre is located on the south-east coast of Fuerteventura, between Costa Calma and Morro Jable. The extensive stretch of beach offers an impressive backdrop of fine, golden sand, jagged rocks, gentle dunes and clear, turquoise-coloured water.
The stretch of beach offers peace and seclusion, but also a certain comfort at the same time, as there is a beach café with sunbed hire on site.
Away from this area, there are extensive, unspoilt zones with dunes and volcanic rock formations that impressively reflect the original character of the coastal landscape.
An ideal place for a relaxing day by the sea.
